Apparently, Demi Lovato's Big Dream Is to Become an MMA Fighter

Earlier this month, Demi Lovato announcd she was taking a break from music and the general celebrity spotlight to focus on charity work. But while she has some downtime, she might be training to be the next Ronda Rousey.

TMZ Sports reports that Demi has been training in mixed martial arts lately, and is begging to take part in a real MMA fight. "She throws elbows better than most of the UFC guys that come in there," Jay Glazer, the owner of Demi's MMA gym, told the site. "She's definitely one of our fighters, without a doubt."

Demi has documented much of her training, calling it her "outlet" and her "oasis," and a way to deal with stress and aggression. She even trained while dealing with a sprained ankle, and looked intimidating while doing so:

And that's the kind of dedication that could give her a future in the sport, if that's actually what she wants. "She's a bad little lioness. Don't mess with her," Glazer told TMZ, adding that she gave him a pretty huge bruise during training. "She has the mindset, I wish I could bottle up her mindset and sell it to half the guys in the UFC."

It's unclear whether Demi really means it when she brings up an actual MMA match. But with training like she has, plus her fierce confidence, it would be foolish to mess with her in or out of the ring.
